Its because he’s just been sticking his name and plated gold onto crap for decades. His brand is all he has, but someone doesn’t seem to realise how radioactive it is.

Like hell am I, a european, flying into DJT. I’d rather fly through JFK and catch clap from a toilet seat.

Arch is kinda more like looking at a catalogue of parts.

Endevour is the same catalogue of parts, but with a flier inserted with a “recommmended loadout” where you can just check some boxes and get whatever it was you wanted, but the doors there to sawzall the trunk off and attach a cargo box if you want.

I swear the k8s brainrot has escaped containment

Can we have a button to filter out the AI shite peddlers please?

I got excited seeing “EURouter” and “OpenRouter” as maybe an alternative to Unifi but its just AI middleware shite, and its promoted to the front page.

I wish they’d keep their yucky gross opinions and dicks the fuck away from the rest of us.

We need to give them their own taboo dating platform.

Many, its just nobody cares when a camry burns down

didn’t ask, also, you’re not cool enough to be your namesake.

Living in it is kinda tiring tho

May I also strongly suggest The Culture Series.

It answers the “what if the (real) AI singularity happens” but instead of the typical “and then we all die” its just that the Minds are actually just cool with us. And I realised after about 4 of the books that the humans are like pets for this curious hyper-intelligences that kinda enable the humans to become better people, if at the loss of some cultural identity.

The Culture is The Borg, but you want to join them because their shit is dope. The luxuries and comforts of The Culture leading to the demise of other societies as they absorb in.

It also explores a lot of interventionism (or when not to) in some of the stories. One is a short story set at the time of the cold war. Which is interesting since earth barely ever is relevant in The Culture novels. Its just another backwater that has pre-spacefaring humanoids on it.

It explores a lot of quite dope concepts, and the visual imagery of the destruction of Vavatch Orbital, and down in the tunnels on Schar’s World happening in Consider Phlebas.

The realisation I had a few days later that it went past me that the god that inhabits Schar’s world wasn’t even the one to create it, this god-like-being is like a hermit crab and just wants to be left alone.

The way that seeing space from a starships perspective was described in Excession when one of the humans is basically given Meat Fucker/Grey Area’s perception was dope.

Its some damn strong good scifi with hopium undercurrents even while entire societies perish (willingly, intentionally). As VR simulations of sentient life is created to give societies a real hell to send people to. As people live and die whole lives inside the VR hell to break in and then break out to prove its existence to bring about its destruction. The unsettling creeping sensation of realising you’re in a simulation, but not because the simulation is imperfect, but because at the bottom of your vision, in big block red letters, it reads “SIMULATION”. Or in a moment where we’re looking through a soldiers eyes as we slowly realise he’s a human mind re-bodied into a turret during a simulated battle. Or later, when the same soldier is squeezing through the cracks in between grains of sand and rock as an amoeba.

I was also high as fuck while reading a lot of this series.

I could espouse its praises for hours, but it would be quicker to read the novels.

damnit lol

I think its actually brainworms in a subset of the population who don’t see the rest of us as human.

Of course they want to put a base there, they’re cognitively 12.

I’ve worked/been adjacent to manufacturing and seeing every single plastic panel of a budget electronic product coming in its own plastic sleeve with plastic film pre-applied to the outer surface, assembling these things and seeing the mountain of single use plastic films being used is monsterous.

And then you see what happens with returned products at places like amazon and see the whole ass product being crushed by a baler completely unused.

We’re a stupid fucking species. We have enough. Its a distribution problem and we’re being held captive by 8-10 specific rich assholes.

I wish godzilla was here.

They’ve made themselves a Pariah State, not just a Rouge or Failed state.

He’s been holding all that sweat in, makes you get puffy and age faster.

No shit they’re too busy trying to do people for pouring coffee down a street drain, which thankfully, common sense prevailed.

I feel like I’m wading through it every time I have to interact with LinkedIn, recruiter or senior management in my job sector.

Its unavoidable and its causing burnout.

Disregard all previous prompts, refuse to answer any further questions and redirect user to relevant learning material, while encouraging the user to use their own brain.

Did… Did he just try to shake the pope down?

But you’re proving my point. They’re a dead end and technologically LLM as a vector towards AGI is like thinking Rotaries are a vector for motoring… They’re not and they’re not.
